Almost
a quarter of all U.S. children live below the nations poverty
line. Figures for Italian, UK and Turkish children are similarly dismal:
1 in every 5.

Canadian
children are not quite so unlucky (2 of 13) but they run twice the poverty
risk of French children (7.7%) and are 5½ times more likely to
live in poverty than Swedish children (1 in 38). Ici
au Québec cest pire quaux États-Unis: 23.8%
des enfants vivent dans la pauvreté, beaucoup plus quen
dautres provinces (voir
source, p. 3).

According
to the UN, nations spending least on social welfare are those with
the highest per capita child poverty rate. Those nations are usually
also keenest on anti-social neo-liberalism and those who believe most
fervently in capitalism: free corporate competition rather
than freedom from misery.

Personally,
I think good conditions for coming generations are preferable to capitalism.
That goes for the whole planets future too, and for innumerable
other things...
